    Abstract: Devices and methods to provide simultaneous asynchronous and synchronous wireless communications, wherein communications with at least one wireless device are established using an asynchronous operation mode utilizing a first frequency band of a single radio device; and, the asynchronous operation mode is interrupted at periodic intervals to establish a synchronous operation mode utilizing a second frequency band of the single radio device, wherein the synchronous operation mode comprises: during a first of the periodic intervals, advertising at least a first of a plurality of available communication slots and listening for a slot petition from at least one end device; and, if a petition is received from at least one end device, assigning one of the plurality of available communication slots to each end device from which a petition was received, wherein each slot utilizes Coordinated Sampled Listening for both uplink and downlink communications with an assigned end device.
